New submission from Armin Rigo: This is probably the smallest example of a .py file that behaves differently in CPython vs PyPy, and for once, I'd argue that the CPython behavior is unexpected:
# make the file: >>> open('x.py', 'wb').write('#\x00\na') # run it: python x.py Expected: either some SyntaxError, or "NameError: global name 'a' is not defined". Got: nothing. It seems that CPython completely ignores the line that is immediately after a line with a '#' and a following '\x00'. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 207232 nosy: arigo priority: low severity: normal status: open title: NUL bytes in commented lines type: compile error versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20115> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
